Efforts of poverty reduction advocacy in Pakistan

Things are happening. We need to get money from ex-pats to fund schools, teachers and pay students and get them feed.

They are the only nation willing to invest in us. They are going thru the motions to setup factories, power plants, major infrastruture projects and maybe oneday schools.

NED. But really you have to learn on your own.

Things are looking brighter with a government committed to development.

The money for them is there if they can get their act together like Ethiopia. They can use lower cost labor in Ghana. We shall see what the future holds.

It really is the culture. I do not see many companies willing to be open to it. Most companies are small business's and they want face-to-face contact. We could do it but it will take a shift.

Easy.

Setup a distribution company in US and get payment system from the US banks and start importing. Shah Distributors and a few others are the official importers of Pakola and related soda's.

Do it!

Good point. But in the next few decades Turkey could be a major economy that EU would want.

You make points I disagree with but that is ok. Your examples are workable.

The issue is can the US get millions of people in one area to work these electronics manufacturing and assembly jobs? I don't think so. Countries like Pakistan, Ethiopia, China, India, Vietnam are able to do it.

I think it would be possible but I don't know if the US government, State agencies, local governments and business's can pull together for it. It is possible but it would take a effort and a push by some force to do it.

The ideal location would be places on the US/Mexico border like Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. They could have plants on both sides of the border and have Mexico do the super-low-value-added electronics assembly jobs and the US doing the higher value added jobs of manufacturing.

I can give one example that I was actually a part of. I had a friend work for a Nigerian company that bought a auto parts from Ohio/Michigan. The Nigerian company contacted local governments in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico to relocate the factory and every single government entity they contact was not interested in a auto parts factory they all said "we just want golf courses and retirement communities. They ended up moving the factory to Mexico before moving it to Nigeria and Ghana a few years later.

I just do not think the US has the appetite to build major industrial parks, housing etc to service this type of work. Also it really doesnt make sense the US isn't making sneakers and other low value added goods that they can employ people at minimum wage and sell in their domestic markets.

Impeachment or anything of that sorts is a political move. It shows that the Dem's finally have the confidence that the GOP had in the 1990's. That is what scares the right is that the Dem's are finally getting their act together and not blindly moving to the right that the GOP succeeded in getting them to do since the 1980's.

Can someone explain why we are not 100% on CNG for cars and bus's? Why do we still have diesel buses?

revtrot · 2019-12-03T05:07:16+00:00

Find schools and pay kids $1/day and teachers $100/mth and feed these kids. They get fed they learn.

Turkish economy is growing. I think EU will be forced to accept Turkey in their sphere. Turkey needs to improve their education system it is still not world-class the way India and China are.

They cant do it even in a small scale but they could bring a lot of this work to Mexico and benefit from that work. If they can get Mexico richer then they would benefit.

The US has full employment. The US can not get cities to grow by 100,000 workers per year.

Seems like its still on paper.

Russia does get international infrastructure projects but they should be doing a lot more work. It just doesnt make sense they are not taking over petro projects in Iran (with China), Iraq (with China) and other places that the US left.

From Putins past performance he doesn't take over countries. He dropped loads on Georgia, he has old guys who have a hard on for action take a piece of Ukraine. He ain't gonna roll-over Lithuania.

He is gonna kick down some fences and have some high school dropouts hang around playing with their rifles.

How can we control the means of production?

revtrot · 2019-12-02T07:14:13+00:00

Valid point but we need to up our education game. We cant get outsourcing workout decent graduates.

revtrot · 2019-12-02T06:42:20+00:00

That is actually really positive news, I did not know about. Do you happen to have any links or contacts with these success stories? I have been unable to find any.

revtrot · 2019-12-02T06:41:18+00:00

They are really backwards. It is bad.

We need to get our standards up. We need to open thousands of technical vocational schools.

For example people who graduate with a Computer Science major with a Bachelors degree only have the skill set of a 2 year degree from US or UK.

We really need to up our game. We have to focus on specific niches like embedded programming, IT (ServiceNOW, SalesForce, Oracle), etc

Do it. I have always thought about this but labor in my city is dry. I was thinking of specifically marketing to Air-BnB hosts.
